Fire State is one of the three thousand Dao States in the Wild Heaven Immortal Domain.
Its area is far smaller than the Imperial State where the Jun family resides, even being only one percent of the size of the Imperial State.
Yet, even at just one percent of the Imperial State, Fire State remains a vast Dao State.
In Fire State, there are no nurous and towering powers.
The one ruling over the entire Fire State is the Ancient Country of Zhuque.
The Ancient Country of Zhuque is a long-established ancient power. Although it may not be as strong as the Ancient Aristocratic Families, it possesses deep foundations and a formidable reputation.
In addition to the Ancient Country of Zhuque, there are also the Ancient Country of Qinglong, the Ancient Country of Baihu, and the Ancient Country of Xuanwu.
These four ancient countries are collectively known as the Four Symbols Ancient Countries.
At this mont, within the splendid palace of the Ancient Country of Zhuque, in a grand hall adorned with gold and jade.
A middle-aged man dressed in a crimson-gold Zhuque robe lies on a bed, his brow darkened, his entire aura weak, as if he is gravely ill, his life hanging by a thread.
He is the ruler of the Ancient Country of Zhuque.
Beside the bed stands a beautiful woman.
She wears a red feathered garnt, her figure graceful, with long legs and snow-white skin.
Her long red hair dances like flas.
Her beautiful eyes shine with a lovely scarlet hue, her nose is high and delicate, her red lips vibrant, and her pearly teeth glisten.
Especially notable is the dot of vermilion at her brow, which, combined with her exquisite features, makes her look as stunning as a peach blossom, utterly enchanting.
This woman is the princess of the Ancient Country of Zhuque, Bai Yuer.
"Father, Yuer will definitely find the elixir of immortality to save you," Bai Yuer said, biting her delicate lip.
"Yuer, it's hard on you. The elixir of immortality cannot be forced," the ruler of Zhuque shook his head slightly, his tone extrely weak, filled with despair.
The elixir of immortality is an incredibly rare existence.
Even those supre Dao lineages and immortal powers cannot have much in stock.
Moreover, it is unlikely they would generously give it to the Ancient Country of Zhuque.
Although the Ancient Country of Zhuque has a strong foundation and possesses several top-tier sacred dicines, it does not have a single elixir of immortality.
After all, in the outside world, when an elixir of immortality appears, it will cause a bloody storm, and there won't be ti to fight over it, let alone sell it to others.
"Father, don't worry. With Yuer's abilities, I will definitely be able to obtain the elixir of immortality!" Bai Yuer's beautiful eyes were resolute, turning her sorrow into strength.
Who is she?
The princess of the Ancient Country of Zhuque, with the Zhuque divine fire in her brow, possessing extraordinary talent.
Not to ntion her appearance, she ranks among the best in the Wild Heaven Immortal Domain.
Many young prodigies from various powers are infatuated with Bai Yuer.
Thus, she has developed a sowhat proud and lofty personality.
She believes she has the ability to save her father and the entire Ancient Country of Zhuque.
"Those young prodigies from various powers are all useless. When I need them, they cannot even produce an elixir of immortality."
"And my fiancé, Xiao Chen, as the crown prince of the Ancient Country of Qinglong, cannot even bring forth a single elixir of immortality."
Bai Yuer walked out of the palace, her jade-like face solemn.
After her father fell ill for several years, the national strength of the Ancient Country of Zhuque has been declining.
Then the Ancient Country of Qinglong ca to propose a marriage alliance.
At that ti, the Ancient Country of Qinglong promised to provide an elixir of immortality to the Ancient Country of Zhuque.
Bai Yuer and the crown prince of the Ancient Country of Qinglong, Xiao Chen, have known each other since childhood. Although they have always kept their distance, they are considered childhood friends and have a decent relationship.
After weighing her options, Bai Yuer agreed.
However, after such a long ti, the marriage contract has long been established, but the elixir of immortality has yet to appear.
Now, with the national strength of the Ancient Country of Zhuque weakened, they have no ability to demand it from the Ancient Country of Qinglong.
Thus, Bai Yuer can only rely on herself to search for the elixir of immortality.
"What should I do? Father cannot fall…" Bai Yuer felt a surge of anxiety in her heart.
"Right, how could I almost forget about my friend, Jun Linglong?" Bai Yuer suddenly thought.
She had once encountered Jun Linglong in a secret realm, and they had gotten along quite well.
Although they hadn't kept in touch much afterward, given Jun Linglong's character, she surely wouldn't turn a blind eye.
Moreover, the Jun family definitely possesses the elixir of immortality.
Thinking of this, Bai Yuer's breath quickened as she hurriedly took out a jade slip to send a ssage.
On the other side, in the side hall of the Jun family's Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Linglong also received the ssage.
"The ruler of Zhuque is gravely ill and needs the elixir of immortality for treatnt?" Jun Linglong furrowed her brows upon hearing the news.
To be honest, if it weren't for Bai Yuer's ssage, she would have almost forgotten about this "friend."
Although Bai Yuer is a princess of an ancient country with a noble status, Jun Linglong is even more so a heavenly prodigy of an ancient aristocratic family.
Don't be fooled by her current status as Jun Xiaoyao's maid; when she steps outside, she is still a highly sought-after noblewoman of the Jun family.
"Right off the bat, she asks for an elixir of immortality. Her appetite is quite big, but we do have so acquaintance," Jun Linglong frowned slightly.
But the problem is, she doesn't have an elixir of immortality.
At this mont, a voice of divine consciousness entered Jun Linglong's mind.
"Linglong, make tea."
Jun Linglong quickly got up; it was Jun Xiaoyao calling her to make tea.
In a steaming, ethereal pool, Jun Xiaoyao sat bare-chested, his body appearing as if sculpted from celestial jade, glowing with radiance.
Now eight years old, Jun Xiaoyao has grown tall.
Jun Linglong entered and served a cup of Enlightennt Tea to Jun Xiaoyao.
Watching Jun Xiaoyao grow more and more handso and extraordinary, Jun Linglong felt a sense of nurturing a young boy.
"What's wrong? Is there sothing?" Jun Xiaoyao took a sip of tea and said casually.
"Nothing," Jun Linglong's eyelashes fluttered slightly.
"Speak up, can you hide it from ?" Jun Xiaoyao shook his head with a smile.
Jun Linglong bit her lip slightly and ultimately revealed the matter regarding Bai Yuer.
"I see, an elixir of immortality? I happen to have so," Jun Xiaoyao shrugged.
During his ti at the Taiyue Ancient Stele, he obtained three elixirs of immortality, and later, the Eighteen Ancestors gave him five more.
Over the years, Jun Xiaoyao has only refined three, leaving him with five.
"Since she is your friend, giving her one is not a problem. Let her co over," Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand.
"Just like that?" Jun Linglong was slightly taken aback.
In the world of the wealthy, she truly doesn't understand!
However, Jun Linglong still nodded slightly and replied to Bai Yuer.
Jun Xiaoyao wore a faint smile.
He certainly doesn't want to be seen as a good person; he has his own thoughts and plans.
Let those righteous pillars take care of the light of justice.
The persona of a saint is not suitable for him.
Moreover, although Jun Xiaoyao doesn't place much importance on an elixir of immortality, he isn't generous enough to give it away casually.
"The sequences of the Jun family are supported not only by various branches but also by affiliated Dao powers."
"Even that Jun Zhangjian has the Ancient Sword Sect and other affiliated powers behind him."
These affiliated powers do not submit to the Jun family but to individuals.
"Although the Ancient Country of Zhuque has weakened in recent years, a dying cal is still bigger than a horse. It can still be gathered, and perhaps the other three ancient countries can also be brought in as affiliated powers."
Jun Xiaoyao calculated in his heart.
After all, he is the Zero Sequence; if he has no affiliated powers behind him, it would be sowhat embarrassing.
He needs to have the necessary prestige.
As for Bai Yuer wanting to obtain an elixir of immortality for free, how could that be possible?
Jun Xiaoyao is not doing charity; he won't do anything that is of no benefit to himself.
Upon receiving Jun Linglong's reply, Bai Yuer was overjoyed.
This feeling was like a long-awaited rain after a drought.
However, the ssage from Jun Linglong left Bai Yuer in deep thought.
Because the one who promised her the elixir of immortality was not Jun Linglong herself.
"A heavenly prodigy from the Jun family has promised to give an elixir of immortality. Could it be that he is interested in ?"
Bai Yuer couldn't help but think.
She is quite confident in her appearance, being the most beautiful woman in the Ancient Country of Zhuque.
In the entire Wild Heaven Immortal Domain, she is also quite renowned.
In her mind, soone willing to give her an elixir of immortality must be attracted to her body.
"Indeed, even the prodigies of the Jun family are not exempt from worldly desires." Bai Yuer felt a sense of disappointnt.
The Jun family's prodigies seem not to be as extraordinary as she had imagined.
"However, no matter what, I must first obtain the elixir of immortality to save my father."
Bai Yuer shook her head and set off towards the Imperial State.
